**IMPORTANT NOTES**
- If there's a company missing from my chart,
it's most likely by mistake - please contact me via email. I will need
literature, company contact information or empty packages to document them
accurately.
- Cells marked only with ? are data
I'm missing. This doesn't mean the product doesn't contain said item; I
just don't know at this date in what amount.
- I've also only noted the most often listed
nutrients / vitamins found on the labels - this also doesn't mean that the
diet doesn't contain other nutrients / vitamins.
- For simplicity sake, I chose one size /
formula per company to profile on this page - mainly the size for small
birds (lovebird, cockatiels etc.).
- Measurement units are noted in the header
unless specifically stated in the cell itself.
- Those marked with * are quoted from Feeding Your Pet
Bird by Petra Burgmann
. Others are taken from
literature or product labels from Manufacturer.
Please NOTE - We DO NOT make recommendations on which pellet to use for your bird or which pellet is "better". You need to consult an avian veterinarian or an avian nutritionalist for that advice. This page is only an informational comparison.

pellets are bound together by steam at high temperatures for short periods of
time. Compressed pellets are often pale and resemble rabbit pellets and
crumble easily. Expanded (Extruded) pellets are also bound together by
high temperatures created by steam, but the cooking and drying process is much
longer. They resemble dry cat food.
